I participated in "Around the World With Skype" Since I've used AOL messenger to have my children talk to their grandparents online while using our webcam, I had some knowledge of video conferencing, but this conference was a helpful overall education on software, hardware, and tech knowledge needed to get started.
The online conference itself was interesting to be a part of. I liked the learning style and was pleasantly surprised at the actual potential of people learning & interacting using this medium.
I'm a devout techniphobe. I don't trust new technologies to instantly solve problems. Typically new technologies create new problems while not actually solving the original problem completely.
However, there are useful applications of some new technologies and I can see video conferencing being a useful tool in education.

I agree that video conferencing can be a useful tool. It would save a lot of time to just view the sessions that interested and related to you.
